Marriage Rates Are Going Up While Divorce Rates Are Going Down According To New Data

The latest numbers from the CDC are in and marriages climbed from 5.1 per 1,000 people in 2020 to a more promising 6.2 per 1,000 in 2022. Of course, the rate is still extremely low, especially when compared to previous generations (the highest rate recorded was 16.4 per 1,000 in 1946), but we love a move in the right direction.

And there's even more good news: divorce rates have been taking a quiet nosedive over the last few years. In 2022, the divorce rate dipped to 2.4 per 1,000 people, a slight decrease from the year before, and this trend has been holding steady for a while, which means that more people are staying married, which will likely have gradual but widespread benefits for American society.

Despite the constant anti-marriage propaganda pushed by academia, legacy media, and the entertainment industry, it's well-documented that long-term marriages lead to better health and financial outcomes for men, women, and children, as well as people's overall happiness. Given the extensively researched benefits of marriage, It's also worth noting the vastly different effects of cohabitation versus marriage that have also been studied over the last few decades.

It's not clear yet what's exactly behind these shifts, but it's likely a mix of factors including the fact that many modern Americans have now had the opportunity to see how hyper-individualism plays out over the long term, and it's nowhere near as fulfilling as a life of loving, mutual commitments.
